LUCY'S POV

"Uhg!" I groaned. I know I was captured. I also know that I was knocked out. But how did I end up in a closet tied up? This was not my plan. That's right, I planned to be captured because I knew that they would bring me to Natsu. Oh well, might as well take my keys- THEY TOOK MY KEYS! Great, how am I supposed to escape now?

Something shining caught the corner of my eye. A..a piece of... of glass? It's on the ground, but I have to get it. I have to escape. If I do, I can go find Natsu. Yeah, I knew who was capturing me. That's why I purposely left alone. I knew they would come for me. I also knew they would bring me straight to Natsu. What I didn't know was that they were smart enough to take my keys and whip...

Lets see, I can reach the glass if I bend down and stretch my arm backwards. Which is exactly what I tried. I bent down, crouched in a stupid cramped closet. My fingers kept inching nearer and nearer each time I stretched further. I almost got it- and I cut my finger. Oh, well! Gotta keep trying.

That's how I spent a good 10 minutes trying to get the stupid piece of glass. Then, I finally got the glass in my hands and I cut the ropes tying me. Good thing too, they were digging into my skin. I have rope burn. Even better! I'm getting burns even without Natsu around. Lucky me...

I went to open the door to find out they didn't lock it. Good! It's all going according to plan. I thought rubbing my hands together. And now I sound evil. What happened to me?

I walked around for a while searching for Natsu. I had to hide a few times, having passed one of the thieves. I will get them back once I get my keys and whip. After about 45 minutes of me walking around, a siren went off. Did they really just find out that I escaped? I sweat dropped.

NATSU'S POV

Lucy's here! She's gonna help me! I'm going to be saved. I gotta try to get myself out of these chains. I gotta try to help Lucy help me. I was still smirking at Kate. She looked at me horror filled. "I gotta find her!" Kate screamed, running off up stairs. Now's my chance. I'm alone so I can try to break the chains. I starting pulling with the strength that I had left. My arms were shaking from exhaustion, but I had to keep it up.

I moaned in pain. "I can't quit!" I whispered to myself. "I need to help Lucy!"

I started to pull again. Just when I think I almost have, I hear footsteps coming down the stairs. I stop my pulling for now. I can't let them know what I was doing. I really hope it's not the Master coming down. He's pretty much the only one who would notice that I tried to break out.

My hopes came true. It wasn't the Master! It was someone else. Someone's scent was floating into my nose. My heart rose! I sniffed out the scent a bit more.

I know who this is!

GRAY'S POV

"What happened?" I asked Happy. Tears were still freely coming out of his eyes. He looked at me for guidance. "I was flying past Lucy's house when I heard someone inside. I looked inside and saw some of the theives taking Lucy. They transported to wherever they are hiding Natsu! I'm sure of it!" Happy told me. I nodded. "I agree with you Happy" I said trying to calm him down. I actually did agree with Happy, so it killed two birds with one stone...sort of.

"Is it possible that you saw them taking someone else? Someone not Lu-chan?" Levy asked in hope. She looked so worn out and sad. Gajeel better help her out. Happy shook his head. "I know they took Lucy" he said confidently. Well, that just confirmed it. Lucy was gone. Kidnapped. Captured.

I gotta stop thinking about that. "Ok. How are we going to get Lucy and Natsu back?" Lily asks, trying to make a plan. Levy gasps. "I can use something of Lu-chan's to track them!" she shouted excitedly. I stared at her like she was crazy for about a minute before I gave up on trying to figure out what she meant. "What?" I asked confused. "The tracking spell Lu-chan, Gajeel, and I found! I need something important to Lu-chan so I can track her! Sort of like a dragon slayer tracking someone's scent" she explained, rushing around getting stuff ready.

"Ok. So what's important to Lu-chan?" Levy asked me as she faced me. I flinched back. "You're asking me!" I shouted surprised. "Of course! You're like a brother to her! You must know!" Levy said looking at me with sparkling, hope-filled eyes. "Uhhh..." I scratched the back of my head, trying to think. "Gray-sama! Is it true love rival is like a sister to you?" Juvia asks. I nod, too distracted about thinking of someone that's important to Lucy to really pay that much attention o what Juvia was saying.

"So, you only like Juvia, right?" she asks me. I glance at her and nod quickly, not really understanding the question. Juvia cheers happily and hugs me, only then to run off shouting something about "her Gray-sama". After about five seconds, my eyes went wide. "WAIT, WHAT?" I shouted at Juvia. "You said you liked me" Juvia states as if she was in heaven. I sigh, defeated, not really having the time or energy to tell Juvia that I wasn't listening to her at the time. I also didn't want her to flood the guild.

"Gray! Did you think of anything?" Levy asked me. I sighed and shook my head. "What about her novel?" A small voice was heard. Levy and I turned i a quick motion to see who had said that. Wendy stood there looking up at us with curious eyes. "I didn't think about that" I said in shock. Levy smiled. "That would be perfect!" Levy said happily. She hugged Wendy, grateful that she had given us an idea.

Lucy, Natsu, we're comig for you!

JUVIA'S POV (I'll type Juvia instead of "I" because that's how she talks, so I think that's how she thinks)

Juvia is so happy right now! Gray-sama just agreed that he like Juvia, not love rival. He said love rival was like a sister to him. I think love rival would be perfect with Natsu anyway.

Now that that's over, Juvia has to help love rival and Natsu. Juvia has to find them or do something for them. But what can Juvia do? She doesn't know where they are or what to do. Juvia knows!

Juvia is going to ask Gray-sama!

"Gray-sama! What should Juvia do to help?" Juvia asked her beloved. He turns to Levy. "Do you have anything you need help with? Juvia sounds willing to help" he says. Levy looks at Juvia. Levy nods.

Juvia nods happily at Levy. Juvia is so excited to help. Juvia will figure out what happened to love-rival and Natsu!

LEVY'S POV

I never really speak to Juvia, so her helping me is a bit awkward. I thought about what I could have Juvia do. I was going to say I didn't need any help but Juvia looked so hopeful she could do something, anything.

"Juvia, do you mind getting me some books? I need to do some research before I actually do the spell" I told Juvia. She nods, running off the the storage room. "Oh! And Juvia?" I called out to her. She turned, having heard me call out to her. "Make sure the books are about the tracking spell, Tsuiseki. I know there aren't any, but I also know you can find some!" I said reassuringly.

Juvia nods, and the continues off to the storage room, where we keep all the books. I turn to Gray. "She really wants to help, doesn't she?" I ask him. He stares after Juvia for a bit. Then he nods and sighs. "I think she just wants to feel useful, since we have no idea where Lucy and Natsu are yet" he explains. I nod in realization. That makes sense. "Oh! Gray! Can you go get Lucy's novel?" I ask him. He nods and runs off to Lucy's house. "Please hurry, guys" I whisper to Juvia and Gray, hoping to find Lucy and Natsu quickly.

We've got to hurry.

GRAY'S POV

I was running to Lucy's apartment. I'm a little afraid to see what happened. I turned the corner to Lucy's street and ran along the stream. I have to hurry.

Once I got to Lucy's apartment building, I flew up the stairs and ran to her apartment door. It was already open. I hope they didn't ruin anything in the room. I needed to find her novel, fast. I walked in hesitantly, getting ready to see the crime scene. I stopped right inside. There was nothing wrong with this room. I guess she was captured in a different room. I walked into the kitchen. Nope, nothing there. I toured her house, searching for the room they took her in. I just had to know. I stopped in front of her bedroom. This had to be the room. It was the only room I hadn't checked. I pushed the door open and saw papers all around the floor, like she had dropped them in haste to do something. I also saw a little bit of blood on the ground. My fists clenched.

Something caught my eye. Something was shining in the corner of my eye. Something that was really important to a certain Celestial mage.

I had to get back to the guild.

LEVY'S POV

"WHERE IS GRAY?" I shouted in anger. He was supposed to be back a while ago. Gajeel shot me a concerned look. "Look, Levy. I think you're just tired. He has only been gone for 10 minutes. It takes about 6 minutes to get to Lucy's house sprinting all the way there" Erza explained to me. She and Gajeel were trying to calm me down. "Yeah Shrimp! Gray will be back soon! Just wait a bit longer.

And I waited. For another 15 minutes. Why is it taking him so long? The doors of the guild creaked as someone opened them. Finally, Gray has come back.

"Gray! What took you so long?" I asked quickly, wanting to hear his excuse. He was panting, trying to catch his breath. "You do know that Lucy's apartment ia pretty far away from the guild, right?" he asks me confused, but then he shakes his head. "Never mind. I found something that's really important to Lucy! Something that she needs!" Gray told me, panicked.

I looked at him confused. ."What is it?" I asked him. He held up something. They jingled as the hit each other. The light caught them as it shined off brightly.

Gray's right. This is something important to Lucy. Something she needs. I started to panic. My heart races as I looked at them in horror. We need to find Lucy and Natsu quickly because She doesn't have her keys. What was Gray holding up in front of everyone?

Her keys.
